Soil Erosion Small Catchment Matijevića Brook (West Serbia)

Abstract

Due to a variety of both natural and anthropogenic erosion factors, the general condition of the Matijevića brook torrential catchment area has contributed to the overall picture of soil erosion intensity in the area. From the aspect of belonging to the type of torrential flow stream Matijevića brook is the gully (F) with mean annual erosion-induced sediment yield Wyear from 206,39 m3 year-1 and total annual specific sediment yield at the confluence of the the Matijevića brook in Tinja (left tributary of Kamenica, which the river flows into the West Morava with her left hand) where Ggod sp -1 were 75.51 m3 km-2 yr-1.

Usled različitih činilaca procesa erozije, prirodnih i antropogenog, opšti uslovi područja bujičnog toka Matijevića potok, doprineli su sagledavanju intenziteta erozije zemljišta sliva. Sa aspekta pripadnosti tipu bujičnog toka Matijevića potok je vododerina (F) sa srednjegodišnjom količinom erozionog nanosa (Wgod) od 206,39 m3 god-1 i specifičnom godišnjom količinom ukupnog erozionog nanosa, koja dospeva do ušća Matijevića potoka u Tinju (leva pritoka Kamenice, koja se u reku Zapadnu Moravu uliva sa njene leve strane), Ggod sp -1, od 75,51 m3 km-2 god-1.
